[Bug/Question] Reflect Missile does not reflect slide back

    The Reflect Missile card causes all damage and effects to be reflected. My initial reading of that effect would assume that if a force blast gets reflected, the caster should slide back 2 from the blocker. However, the game engine leaves the caster in place (but does apply damage to the caster).

    Is this the correct behavior? (I can see this behavior being valid in a degenerate case, where the slide effect is applied to the caster without changing the referent from whom he slides back (which is still himself), so that he can't slide away from himself in any particular direction and stays in place... if you follow? :p)

    Did the caster have Immovable attached or obstacles preventing the slide back from happening ?

    I don't recall that being the case. There was a single immovable in one of my three wizard's decks, so it's possible I just forgot about the immovable being attached, but it was also the first round, so that's unlikely. If the devs can't reproduce it, I'll attribute it to my poor memory regarding immovable.

    From an older thread:
    There was no discussion (from a dev) of changing this behavior, though.
